태양전지 모듈은 back sheet, 후면 충진재, 태양전지 cell, 전면 충진재, 전면 보호유리의 구성으로 되어 있다. back sheet는 유리 또는 금속을 사용하는데 사용 재료에 따라 각각 유리봉입방식, 슈퍼스트레이트방식으로 구분된다[1]. 태양전지를 보호하기 위한 충진재는 빛의 투과율 저하가 적은 PVB(Poly Vinyl Butylo)나 내습성이 뛰어난 EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) 등이 주로 이용된다. 유리봉입방식과 슈퍼스트레이트 방식의 공통점은 모듈 전면에 투과율과 내?충격 강도가 좋은 강화 유리를 사용하는 것이다. 하지만 현재 모듈의 전면 유리는 평탄한 표면 때문에 태양고도가 낮을 때 상대적으로 반사율이 높은 단점을 가지고 있다[2]. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 표면 유리에 요철(anti-glare) 구조를 형성하면 평면 구조의 표면에서 반사되는 태양광이 일부 태양전지 내부로 재입사가 일어나게 되어 표면 반사율이 낮아지게 되고, 이로 인하여 태양전지의 효율이 증가하게 된다. 특히 이러한 효과는 태양고도가 낮아졌을 때 요철(anti-glare) 구조에 의한 반사율의 감소가 증가하기 때문에 평면 구조보다 요철(anti-glare) 구조의 태양전지 모듈 효율이 향상될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 요철(anti-glare) 구조를 만들기 위해서 유리와 평면 구조의 유리에서의 반사율과 투과율을 측정하여 비교 분석하였고, 특히 태양고도의 고도가 변할 때를 비교하기 위하여 반사율 및 투과율을 측정 할 때 입사광의 각도를 변화시켰다. 그리고 태양전지 cell 위에 요철(anti-glare) 구조의 유리와 평명 구조의 유리를 각각 위치시킨 후 태양전지 cell의 효율변화를 확인하였다. 이때 태양전지 cell의 표면은 이방성 식각 용액을 이용하여 역피라미드 구조의 텍스쳐링 태양전지 cell과 평면 구조의 태양전지 cell을 각각 사용하여 비교하였다.

Recently, a new PSC (Prestressed Concrete) bridge system, which is supported by Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (CFFRP) strut, has been introduced. This bridge is able to reduce self-weight and increase the width of traditional PSC bridges. However, no relevant research has been reported on local behavior of CFFRP strut in the bridge system. The purpose of this study is to investigate local behavior of CFFRP struts using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. Field tests were performed to examine the hoop strains and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut under various lateral positions and velocities of a test truck. It has been observed that CFFRP strut is under compression regardless of vehicle speed and location. However, the CFFRP strut is sensitive to the lateral position of vehicles in terms of strain magnitude. Results also indicated that the FBG sensors can faithfully record the hoop and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut without electro-magnetic interference.

To evaluate the posterior and anterior restoration of polymeric dental restorative composite (PDRC), PDRC was prepared using a silica filler treated by heat at various temperatures. Compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) values were investigated to study the effect of a heat-treated silica on the mechanical properties of PDRC using the recommended dental specifications. Both the particle size and specific volume of silica were decreased upon increasing the heat treatment temperature. CS and DTS values of PDRC containing a heat-treated silica showed 1.2 and 1.3 times, respectively, higher than that of the PDRC containing a neat silica. Also, it was found that the lower heat treatment temperature, the better mechanical properties of PDRC were observed because there was less agglomeration between silica particles. Specially, PDRC using a silica treated at $600^{\circ}C$ showed superior mechanical strength.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer, FRP has a light weight, a high tensile strength based on design, non-electronic, non-magnetic, and rust-resistant feature, etc and many researches are being conducted recently on FRP in the construction area. Among them, GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is excellent in price competitiveness and is widely being used. However, since GFRP has a relative low modulus of elasticity and causes excessive deflection, the section must be large to be used as a structural component and an investigative review must be carried out in design to set the limit for deflection by the use load. Therefore, in order to solve the mentioned technical problems, this study suggested a section of a module form such that application of a large-scale section is possible. Also, to secure the low rigidity of FRP, this study developed a new FRP+ concrete composite girder form that confined the concrete. To identify the structural movement of the developed FRP+ concrete composite girder, shear strength test was carried out.

In this study, novel pore-filled anion-exchange membranes (PFAEMs) with low electrical resistance, high permselectivity, and low water-splitting flux property under a concentration polarization condition have been developed for the enhancement in the efficiency of electrochemical water treatment processes. The base membranes have been prepared by filling a copolymer containing quaternary ammonium groups with an excellent ion-exchange capability into a porous polyolefin substrate, showing a high performance superior to that of a commercial membrane. In addition, it was confirmed that the electrochemical membrane performances are preserved while the water-splitting flux is effectively controlled by coating an imidazolium polymer onto the surface of the base membrane. The prepared PFAEMs revealed remarkably low electrical resistances of about 1/6~1/8 compared to those of a commercial membrane, and simultaneously low water-splitting flux comparable with that of cation-exchange membranes under a concentration polarization condition.

In this study, we have established the optimum design condition of pore-filled anion-exchange membrane for all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). From the experimental results, it was proven that the membrane design factors that have the greatest influence on the charge-discharge performance of VRFB are the ion exchange capacity, the porosity of substrate film, and the crosslinking degree. That is, the ohmic loss and the crossover of active materials in VRFB were shown to be determined by the above factors. In addition, two methods, i.e. reducing the ion exchange capacity at low crosslinking degree and increasing the crosslinking degree at high ion exchange capacity, were investigated in the preparation of pore-filled anion-exchange membranes. As a result, it was found that optimizing the crosslinking degree at sufficiently high ion exchange capacity is more desirable to achieving high VRFB charge-discharge performances.

Electroplating copper is the important role in formation of 3D stacking interconnection in SiP (System in Package). The I-V characteristics curves are investigated at different electrolyte conditions. Inhibitor and accelerator are used simultaneously to investigate the effects of additives. Three different sizes of via are tested. All via were prepared with RIE (reactive ion etching) method. Via's diameter are 50, 75, $100{\mu}m$ and the height is $100{\mu}m$. Inside via, Ta was deposited for diffusion barrier and Cu was deposited fer seed layer using magnetron sputtering method. DC, pulse and pulse revere current are used in this study. With DC, via cannot be filled without defects. Pulse plating can improve the filling patterns however it cannot completely filled copper without defects. Via was filled completely without defects using pulse-reverse electroplating method.

In this study, the dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution probability. The dielectric breakdown characteristics origin in epoxy composites were examined and various effects of dielectric breakdown on epoxy composites were also discussed. As a result, first of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. And the breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher since this suggests that silane coupling agent improves interfacial combination and relaxs electric field concentration. Finally, from the analysis of weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1%, the applied field value needed to be under 21.5㎹/cm.
